Disabled veteran speaks in stunning ad

 A powerful new spot features a man who speaks using a computer, because of injuries he received serving in Iraq.

A new ad on behalf of Tom Udall, a Democrat running for the Senate in New Mexico, may be the most amazing one of this cycle -- in fact, in recent memory. It features Army Sgt. Erik Schei, who was shot in the head in 2005, while serving in Iraq. Currently wheelchair-bound, he uses a computer to help him speak. Watch it below.

Update: In this post, as originally written, I confused my Udalls. Tom Udall is the Democratic candidate for Senate in New Mexico, not -- as originally stated -- in Colorado. His cousin Mark Udall is running for Senate there.
