With all the speculation about Hillary Clinton’s political aspirations, is America ready for a woman president?

Debbie Rand, 52, Windham, homemaker

“Yes, Hillary or someone else who is qualified. I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head. Hillary and others could do the job.”

Tom Wescott, 61, Casco, truck driver

“I’ll answer that two ways. Yes, the country is ready for a female president- but no, not Hillary Clinton. No one else comes to my mind, though.”

Myra Cyr, 22, Standish, St. Joseph’s senior

“I’d like to see a woman president. It would depend on who runs. I feel men and women could be equally qualified.”

Betty LeGoff, 36, Denmark, owner Little Pond Building

“Yes, the country is ready. I would vote for Hillary Clinton. I like what she has done in the last couple of years. And I like how she presents herself.”

Tim Dunn, 24, Windham, cook

“Yes, the country is ready. It is about time. If Hillary Clinton runs I’d back her. She is a strong leader, and I believe she could run the country the way it should be run.”

Sidney Hethcoat, 16, Raymond, student

“Yes, definitely! I think Hillary Clinton would be a good President. She is a nice person, but there are more things to consider. I think she is intelligent.”
