Coming Up on 'This Week': Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett

Nov. 11, 2011 — -- Legendary college football coach Joe Paterno is brought down by a sexual abuse scandal that engulfed Penn State this week. As a football icon and top college brass stand accused of shielding an alleged pedophile in their midst, we examine the fallout with Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett.

As state attorney general, Corbett launched the sex abuse investigation that has exploded into public view. While criminal charges are brought against Penn State officials who did not report the abuse, who else should be held accountable? How will the Penn State community and the victims of abuse recover?

Then, it was the "oops" heard around the world. After a damage-control media tour, can Texas Gov. Rick Perry recover from his debate night debacle, or is his campaign down for the count? Will Rick Perry's slide be Newt Gingrich's gain, as the former House speaker continues to move up in the polls?

And is Herman Cain the Teflon candidate? Despite a continued storm over sexual harassment allegations, Cain remains steady atop the Republican presidential field, as presumptive front-runner Mitt Romney fails to take back the lead less than two months before the first 2012 votes are cast.

An extended "This Week" roundtable tackles the race for the Republican nomination and all the week's politics, with George Will, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, conservative radio host Dana Loesch, and ABC News senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl. Plus, USA Today columnist and ABC News contributor Christine Brennan joins the roundtable to discuss the sexual abuse scandal engulfing Penn State.

Plus, a new report from United Nations weapons inspectors paints a troubling picture, presenting new evidence that Iran has continued key actions toward building a nuclear weapon. How close is Iran to reaching nuclear capability, and how should the United States and the international community respond? Are diplomatic pressure and sanctions enough, or should military action be on the table?

The "This Week" panel, with former U.N. weapons inspector David Albright and Karim Sadjadpour, an analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, discuss the fallout from this week's International Atomic Energy Agency report and what comes next in efforts to stop Iran's nuclear program.
