Worlds Collide: Politics and Lucha Libre

Here's Místico shilling for the PAN. 

Like a lot of the PAN campaign ads, this one closes with, "Don't leave Mexico in the hands of the criminals. Vote PAN." What an insidious tactic. It says a great deal (and none of it positive) about Mexico's electoral regime that implying, Rove-style, that voting for another party is the equivalent to handing the government over to organized crime is kosher, yet an honest and direct negative ad is illegal.
