One has to wonder what the family reunion dinners are like at the Paterno household. We know from his writings and his stances on the issues during his congressional run that Scott Paterno, youngest son of Joe Paterno, is a very conservative Republican. We also know JoePa has stumped for many Republican candidates over the last few decades including George W. Bush. Joe and Scott even did a fundraiser event with George Bush, Sr. when Scott ran for Congress. But, it appears not all of the Paterno clan falls in the Republican camp as another one of Joe’s sons, Jay Paterno, spent last night stumping with Democrats at a rally for Barack Obama. Jay used part of his speaking time to take a shot at George W. Bush, who is father and Scott campaigned for in 2004.. Scott is known to be very outspoken about his views and this should make for interesting discussions. Paterno and congressional candidate Mark McCracken were among the featured speakers in Center County.
