Depicting your opponent as less capable is not really something that people take kindly too. Basically, people have unfair expectations on people in wheelchairs, by not depicting him in a wheel chair they're making him look better, portraying their opponent in a positive light.
Had they put him in a wheel chair the right would have complained about how progress texas was "unfairly pointing it out" and about how "being in a wheel chair doesn't stop him from doing the job why do you have to keep talking about it, what do you have against people in wheel chairs?"
