From the Paper:

"California and Texas were long the two largest states in the union, now eclipsed by Alaska. The two states are very different in terms of political history and workings of government. Both states were once part of Mexico, at least in part, and continue to show signs of the original Mexican culture. Texas is considered a southern state and is generally more conservative than liberal-leaning California, a state with large liberal blocs in urban regions such as San Francisco and Los Angeles and a conservative majority in areas such as Orange County in the south."
