Karl Rove and Juan Williams had quite a lively debate Friday evening about politics, the economy, and who can beat Barack Obama in 2012.
With Williams acting as substitute host on “The O’Reilly Factor,” guest Rove asked the question that has been plaguing conservatives for approaching three years – “How can an obscure United States senator from Illinois who had done diddly squat in the senate become the nominee of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States?”
JUAN WILLIAMS, SUBSTITUTE HOST: The question I had for you that I want to get back to is, beat Obamawith, what?
Here is a full screen. And it’s going to show you Obama matched up against Romney, against Pawlenty, against all of them, even generic Republican. Not one of them beat President Obama.
KARL ROVE: He is — he is the incumbent president of the United States. And he’s 45 percent against a generic Republican in one poll, against Pawlenty who nobody in America knows who was only five percent of in the Republican primary he gets to 50 percent, against Romney, again — this is one poll where’s it’s 49 percent — 43 percent. But there are other polls where it’s flipped; it’s 48 percent, 46 percent Romney.
