The New York Times Magazine has an extensive profile of GOP candidate Mitt Romney out this morning. Amongst other interesting tidbits, the comments of Doug Gross, Romney’s former Iowa chairman, stick out.

Asked if he had any reservations as to whether Romney would be a good president, Goss was quick with his response.

“Yeah,” he immediately replied. “That’s why I haven’t committed. To be an excellent president — part of the rap on Mitt is that he’s too flexible. I see that as a good thing, because it shows he’s willing to be pragmatic and do what works.

“But,” added Mitt Romney’s former Iowa chairman, “I don’t know if he’s got the gut instinct to make the right call at the right time. I don’t know yet.”
