Bennett was one of my strong considerations for voting. Bennett could potentially cause some nice chaos, especially being, what looks like, int he position of kingmaker. He could negotiate a rotation deal for himself somehow despite being a smallish party, or he could annoint Netanyahu, Saar or Lapid as Prime Minister. That is a lot of options that would make the system crazy after elections before the next stage of recommendations and coalition forming.

Recently he is dropping off my radar a bit. I liked that he was saying he won't ban anyone and won't invalidate anyone - not because I care about bans, as each party has a right to declare they can work with these parties and not with those as their stances are too far apart, but because it left a lot of options open for him.

Recently Bennett seems to have moved away from that position and has started talking about how he won't sit with Meretz, he won't sit in a Lapid government (even with the first spot in a rotation), etc.

If he is now declaring he wont sit with these and those, that is now severely limiting his options, making it more likely he will simply hand Netanyahu the premiership - perhaps with some good negotiating of an important role for himself, but still, it limits his options. That makes Bennett a boring candidate once again. His choices now are basically team up with Saar or with Netanyahu. With Saar's numbers dropping, Bennett's only real choice is Netanyahu. There's nothing wrong with choosing Netanyahu, but there is nothing exciting or chaotic about having pretty much only one choice.
