After predicting Clinton was "going out," Bennett marveled at "mainstream media saying that she was done and finished"

Discussing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) presidential campaign during the January 8 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, political contributor Bill Bennett said: "The Clintons come in like George McGovern and go out like Richard Nixon. I think they're going out, by the way." Similarly, during the same day's edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, when Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said, "But don't count Hillary Clinton out of this too early," Bennett responded: "Count Hillary Clinton out of this."

But after CNN called the New Hampshire Democratic primary for Clinton later that evening, Bennett commented, "You know, watching the mainstream media saying that she was done and finished -- for a conservative Republican, where do I go? Do I side with the Clintons or do I side with the mainstream media?" At no point did Bennett mention that he was among those who claimed Clinton's presidential campaign "was done and finished."

Bennett also said after Clinton was declared the winner: "But I'll tell you, I mean, this tells you, don't count -- a) don't count people out. And don't count out John McCain. Don't count out Hillary Clinton." Later in the discussion, Bennett added: "And as an almost lifelong critic of the Clintons -- and there's a lot of things you can say about them that are uncomplimentary and that are true -- but one thing is also true. Politically, they are something. Boy, don't ever count these people out. I mean, they are very, very strong."......
