BMD goes AWOL

In an article published in Mmegi of July 23 2010, entitled BMD and COPE alike I pointed out as follows:

As I had predicted and urged, the BDP once again impressed upon the nation that they mean serious business by soundly trouncing a combined opposition that had Dr Habaudi Hobona as their candidate.  That the BDP defeated the combined opposition with BMD ‘heavily’ involved makes me more than ever before, convinced that BMD and COPE are alike.  Below I expound on my thinking.
