I don't feel strongly either way. I think both you and G. are good choices as PM, having a strong understanding of the game and willingness to step up and help keep things moving. I think you've done more recently, but I'm not sure how much recency should count, if G.'s still fairly active. For this election attempt in particular, I'm just repeating what I did on the last attempt to try to be consistent and not have the result change just because of the confusion.
I hope I didn't confuse people by voting to "endorse G." on the last election attempt. I did it because I wasn't sure if G. still wanted it, but it might have been interpreted as "I don't know what's going on; to be safe I'll let G. figure it out".
