Brad Sherman mailers come with (or without) mom *

Some Valley voters are getting campaign mail that shows Rep. Brad Sherman with his wife, Lisa Kaplan Sherman, and their three young children. The lucky ones also get his mother, Lane Sherman, apparently photo-shopped in to the same park scene. You decide whether it's cynical or just creative. I've heard both ways.

* Update: Two picture people with Photoshop skills tell me they believe that Rep. Brad Sherman's mom was Photoshopped out of a mailer he sent to voters, not added in. They both mention visual evidence of the cloning tool being used on the photo.
