He would win the same way he won last time, and the time before.
By CHEATING, BRIBING, ATTACKING THE OPPOSITION, AND LYING.
Its what he's good at.

Believe it or not he might actually win. Bush's (or should I say, Rove's) stategy is to appeal strongly to their constituency and do little or nothing to cater to the others. Their constituency is pretty hard-core and they are likely to vote for a Bush in large numbers. This is solidarity contrasts well with Democrats who unfortunately still can't seem to figure out what they stand for and who are pretty splintered between left and center.
The elections might be close (as the last two have been) but for the Bushies, the doesn't matter as long as they get a majority. And the Bushies (Rovers?) don't care much about those who don't support them. In the past it was important to at least pay some lip service (and usually quite a bit more, depending on the make up of the Congress) to the party you've defeated. No longer, at least for the Rove-era republicans.
Of course, alot will depend on who the opponents are. John Kerry is being touted as a potential Dem candidate and -- hey guys, he already lost to a guy who may end up being the worst president in a 100 years! Hilary? Too divisive. Dean? Please. Gore has stated he's not in it again so if he comes back he'll have a credibility gap to deal with. If the Dems could come up with someone people could rally behind then it could be a landslide for them in '08. But if its the usual suspects, sorry, Bush would win again.

Between his family and his henchmen (by the way, people I know personally in Florida say that they were intimidated and prevented from voting AT THE POLLS along with hundreds of others because they were known to be anti-Bush and were known Democrats!), they'd find a way to bushwhack some voters and waylay a few hundred boxes of votes and rig some of the voting machines... sure, he'd win... but not with my vote!
He's the 2nd President that got to the White House without being voted into office (Gerald Ford was the first). Hey, he STOLE BOTH elections!
And his present tyrannical tactics prove what he is: a dictator who breaks laws to get what he wants! If he can spy on Americans by twisting the meaning and spirit of existing laws, what's to prevent him from doing the same as Tricky Dicky (Watergate incident) did and getting away... what's to prevent him from spying on his opposition under the guise of "National Security" for the purpose of furthering his own personal agenda and his own personal interests (Cheney did under the guise of National Security when he met with his former colleagues... or has everyone forgotten so soon?)
Yeah, he and his henchmen and his family would surely find a way... Freedom of Speech is great when they praise him but it's a terrible thing when they point out the truth and his many lies and his many misleading, contradictory statements, and his multitude of stupid remarks (quick, do a Google search on "Bushisms").
He sure proved one thing: the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree! Yes, I still recall his father saying, "Read my lips, no new taxes..." Yeah, RIGHT! A national liar begets a national liar, how "Christian-like" and how ironic... they're Pro-Life, yet they favor the Death Penalty... how truly oxymoronic (sounds about as intelligent as "a little bit pregnant").

Hard to say - in my opinion, hes made just as many good choices as bad. I mean, I agree that the soldiers in Iraq have been there entirely too long and they are dumb for keeping them over there, but in all honesty, those choices aren't necessarily just his. For the most part, hes a puppet on a string doing things hes told to do by the puppetmaster so to speak. Would I vote for him? I dunno, probably not. But then again, I don't know that I would vote for the competition either.

He'd win the way he did last time. Play games with the voting auditing system, thow away votes in some counties, use those inaccurate electronic voting machines...and if all else fails have his judge friends review the election in his favor.

Does it matter. He lost the elections in both 2000 and 2004 and is still president now. He will remain president until he declares himself emperor in 2012.

Well judging by how he "took" the office by force for 8 years I believe he would "win" just on that merit alone.

Depends on who's running against him. I don't think there is a good democratic person out there. So I would say he would win again.

With a 42% approval rating? That means most of us are thinking better!
& I wouldn't vote for him for the 3rd time!
