Jon Huntsman has resigned from the GOP presidential race. Huntsman was falling in the polls and didn't appeal to a majority of conservative voters and was seen as “too moderate” or worse “too liberal”. In his resignation Huntsman railed against the Republican party. He said “this race has degenerated into an onslaught of negative and personal attacks, not worthy of the American people and not worthy of this critical time in our nation’s history.” Huntsman also referred to the Republican party as “toxic.” and urged all other candidates to stop attacking each other and instead to focus on addressing the voters themselves, about their policies and how they will implement those policies.
Huntsman told his audience their party needs to unite around “the candidate best equipped to defeat Barack Obama.” He gave a grudging endorsement of Mitt Romney, stating “despite our differences and the space between us one some of the issues I believe that candidate is Mitt Romney.”

II. This will affect public policy through how the voters react. Policies will possibly be changed, proposed, etc now with the change in candidacy.
III. Huntsman dropped out of the race.
IV. The information doesn't affect me and can't be used by me.
V. N/A
VI. This info will affect all the candidates left in the political arena. This may be good or bad for any of them and it's still hard to tell. With Huntsman gone, his supporters will have to turn to a new candidate to vote for.
