If you think Sandusky was the reason Corbett wasn’t re-elected.....LOL
Throwing Paterno under the bus definitely cost Corbett the election.
2014 was a big year for Republicans. Many Republicans won gubernatorial elections in very blue states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, and Illinois. They also were re-elected in purple states like Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio. Pennsylvania was the ONLY state in the US that flipped from Republican to Democrat that year, despite the fact that the state senate and house elections were overwhelmingly won by Republicans.
