[Star Wars] If Order 66 never happened what side would have won the Clone Wars?

So ignoring the fact that both sides were being played by a sith lord, would the Separatists or Republic have won the war?

The republic still would have won.  In the opening scenes of episode 3 we see the separatists desperately trying to capture the chancellor and losing their diplomatic figure head in the process.  Shortly after that their top general is killed.  Most of their fleet was destroyed over coruscant. The scattered leadership of the cis was ready to surrender before order 66 and what little remained of the droid army was trapped on a handful of worlds heavily under siege by the republic with few ships to provide escape.  Removing order 66 the cis leadership may have last another few weeks or months but they were beaten and destined to lose after coruscant.
