I could possibly see rep. Leach of Iowa switching sides, if enticed by a chairmanship, but other than him, I don't see any GOP defections.
As for Democratic defections, I agree with other commenters who have noted that you don't switch to the party that's waning in power. That said, Cuellar could theoretically switch sides, but that would potentially make him vulnerable to a challenge from any number of South Texas Democrats. While the district and its large Latino population may have supported Bush, it is still reliably Democratic in all other contests and brimming with ambitious Democrats...
