<human>: Hey everyone, I'm in need of some advice.

Let me preface this post by mentioning that most of this is hypothetical and that I have no concrete evidence that I will even be offered the position in the first place.

It all started last week, I was talking to my department's group leader, which I have a really close relationship with. While talking, he mentioned how our current supervisor has already determined who is going to replacing my group leader as he is leaving our company in a few months. Because of the guy he is, and the mindset he has right now, he didn't ask who he was considering. He did however mention that our big boss "wasn't exactly impressed with his choice" which leads me to believe he was talking about me as he doesn't look at me in that way (largely because his head is so far up his own ass). 

I'm not sure if I should talk to my supervisor to see if I can pry any information out of him relating to the subject or not. I am quite confident that I could lead my work group to success, especially with the 5 years experience and my ambitious attitude.  When I think of others in the group that could possibly fill the position better than myself I come up empty handed. I am fairly confident that if someone in our department would be offered the position, it would have to be me. 

What do you guys think I should do? Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I don't know if I should try to pry information out of my boss to find if I'm the choice for a promotion.
