Whoever wins... Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma all lose.
As an ex-Californian myself, I think they would lose to Texas, especially in a ground war. It wasn't specified that military would be involved, so I assume just based on the inhabitants alone, Texas has the upper-hand.
