Gabu pretty much hit the nail on the head.
If the GOP loses control of Congress, they will probably move more toward the middle which would help their chances in 2008, much as Clinton moved towards the middle after the GOP won control in 1994, thus helping his chances of reelection.
However, it's far from a certainty that the Republicans would do this; like the Democrats have now, there would probably be a lot of conservatives who would argue that they lost because they abandoned conservative principles and that they need to move further right.
Overall, though I feel the GOP would be more likely to moderate after a loss than to move right.
