Also, let me point out that Dewey's claim:

I still say Bush is by far the better candidate on National Security and Terrorism, despite the heavy handed war in Iraq, and foreign policy mistakes.

And I think you'll find (in all the polls done so far) that the majority of Americans agree with me on this point.

This is thus, not my opinion, but a fact.

is bullshit. In AD 500 you could say "I believe the world is flat. And the Majority of my countrymen agree with me.   This is thus, not my opinion, but a fact."

But you'd still be wrong, and it still wouldn't be a fact.
