RAYMOND, N.H. -- Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney said he is looking forward to a presidential debate with Hillary Clinton, particularly over the subject of healthcare.

Romney, who was meeting with employees at a factory here, was asked which Democrat he would like to face in the general election.

Romney then immediately handed the microphone to former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, who is campaigning with Romney today, and told him to answer it.

Weld said the question was "above his pay grade".

Romney then explained he believed all of the Democratic front-runners would raise taxes and offered healthcare plans that were the "wrong way to get it done".

He then said he was looking forward to debating Clinton because while there were several differences in their healtcare plans the biggest difference was "mine got passed and hers didn't".
