It’s hard to believe, but the campaigns for Republican rivals Doug Ose and Tom McClintock agree on something: today’s primary election will be a decidedly low-turnout affair.

John Feliz, McClintock’s campaign manager, said he believes no more than 60,000 of the Roseville-area district’s 185,000 voters to cast ballots. Ose personally estimated earlier today that about 72,000 people would vote.

McClintock’s campaign, meanwhile, says that it is in the final hours of its get-out the vote operation.

“This is what it’s all about,” says Stan Devereux, a spokesman for the campaign. “What is underway is get-out the vote.”

After waging a bruising Spring-long battle against fellow Republican Tom McClintock, U.S. House candidate Doug Ose said today that the GOP would have to come together after Tuesday’s primary to maintain the seat the party has held for seven consecutive terms.

“I think we all have to coalesce,” Ose told PolitickerCA.com just moments after casting his ballot at the Placer County Elections Office in Auburn.

But Ose stopped short of saying he would endorse McClintock if he came up short in the vote and said he was unsure if his opponent would do the same.

“I don’t know what Tom will do,” he said.
