Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks with Elizabeth Brackett at the Chase Auditorium in Chicago, in this photo taken Wednesday, March 24, 2010. None of the potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates has been more aggressive than Romney in criticizing the new health care overhaul. Then again, none shares his vulnerability on the issue.
