Western New York is where Joseph Smith allegedly dug up the Book of Mormon, inscribed on gold plates. Which vanished when skeptics came around asking to see them.

So, it turns out that she’s just a run-of-the-mill asshole Republican liar traitor.

We should have seen that coming.

You forgot to mention her role as a diversity prop for the party that despises women.

That picture of Elaine's butt should be everywhere. In Times Sq, on the Empire State Bldg, the Eiffel Tower and -- just everywhere in Washington-- the Smithsonian, on the bridge on the trail in Georgetown-- and, covering the State House dome in Boston. She reminds me of Mayor Michael Curley. (Hey--super glad she has a pool!)

2012 is an interesting time to have bought in DC, as the local real estate market was still recovering from the 2008 crash. I lost a bundle because of that. Glad to know eminent citizens profit from it.

Kinda like poor Mitt Romney, having to set out in life with only a teensy $5 million "loan" from his folks.

Welp...it's not exactly as cushy as a "wood floored townhouse". Have a look at the place - this is it, Spokeo has Elise's name on it, as well.

I live in Stefanik's district, though she clearly doesn't "represent" me. She is horrible.

I don't know. When I hear plywood business I don't immediately think of small mom and pop operation. I assume her family started or bought into something big from the get-go. Especially since in only 12 years they managed to build enough to plop 1.2 million on a DC townhome.

My family also has a summer house in the Adirondacks, and it's a VERY right-wing Republican area. My prediction is that the people there will vote for any Republican over any Democrat, sad to say.

NY's Ilse pulled herself up by her own bootstraps, and is a Self Made Woman, which is why she has so much love and admiration for TFFG - because he was a Self Made Man, who had little help from anyone, other than an tiny loan from his old daddy.

That Elise is a sweet girl. She'll be sending extra money home from the blow jobs in the cloak room.

Everyone wants to claim the mantle of Abe Lincoln or Frederick Douglas, self educated and picked up by their own boot straps, because that plays well with their constituents. We need a lot more actual investigation done on candidates who claim this. LLC shell games make it tough, but it shouldn't be impossible.
