Good point.
I think if Bush tried in any way to cancel the election, or remain in control of our country after his term is up, he would immediately be put on trial, impeached, and arrested.
Dictators rise to power because they usually have the people's support in the beginning. They are able to successfully declare a state of emergency and cancel elections because the people are willing to believe it is necessary. Bush very clearly does not have the people's support... he has the lowest approval rating in history.
Even if he were to stage another major terrorist attack, it would not be enough to keep him in power. The people would not stand for it... whether anyone believes in the 9/11 government conspiracy or not, the majority of the public DOES agree that Bush has made a lot of mistakes because of it. No one in their right mind would trust him to handle another attack of that magnitude, and all it would do is boost the appeal of whoever the next president is.
Besides, the fact that so many people have already questioned the Patriot Act would make it even harder. Many have made the accusation that the Patriot Act itself is unconstitutional and was a horrible decision, so anything that took it a step further would surely create a very aggressive effort to remove Bush from office.
