CORRECTION: Joe Paterno (R) DID NOT donate to Obama; son did

[KSinTX]

A recent thread misidentifies Joseph V. Paterno, Nittany Lions head football coach, as an Obama donor.

It is his SON, Joseph 'Jay' Paterno who is an Obama backer.

Son (Paterno, Joseph) is the QB coach for Nittany Lions. Not Head Coach Joe (Paterno, Joseph V).

Jay voted for George H.W. Bush, a close friend of his father, in 1988. Joe seconded the elder Bush's nomination during the Republican convention in New Orleans and brought a 20-year-old Jay along when the informing committee notified Bush. Jay, however, was more excited about meeting a certain childhood hero.
