VERY unlikely. They aren't going to sacrifice a House seat to take attention away from Condi's lies; the stakes are too high. Also, this scandal reflects very poorly on congressional Republicans in general and could result in their losing more than one seat. The last thing the Republicans need is a juicy sex scandal to turn off "values voters." Everybody understands a sleazy congressman hitting on pages; it's much simpler than whether or not Condi lied about being warned about 9/11.
