I had already read that article. The fact is that the opposition is facing a two headed penny. If they win the election (which I think is unlikely given ZANU-PF's systematic cheating and intimidation) they will still not be allowed to assume power. If they "lose" it, it will be claimed by Mugabe as "legitimising" him. What the MDC has got is time. I don't think Mr.Mugabe has as much of that as he would like to think.
