The case asks whether Nixon's ideology and identity are why national Democrats have not committed major spending to her campaign. Nixon acknowledged that Florida is expensive and that people have turned their backs on it, while asking for a modest amount of television money. She did not attribute the lack of commitment to ideology or identity in this passage. Because she combines an acknowledgement of the cost with a request that the party fund her anyway, we labeled it Mixed or conditional.
