Today's Blind Items - The Miscalculation

This A lister in his particular part of the country which is/was a very competitive area will be done this cycle in his current position.  The first time he won he beat someone who already had the position.  One of the people seeking his position who lost yesterday was a complete lunatic.  He was earlier approached by the now failed A++ lister to be her sidekick but said no as he had his eye on another job - top enforcement officer under her as he assumed she would win. A miscalculation on his part.
