No he did not write a letter in support of bailouts, it was one of his partners.

He was the director of an investment group that was required to file documents with the SEC. Investors and partners of the firm had their own opinions and would write them in letters to other members of the investment group. These letters required disclosure to the SEC. Matt Bevin had to be signing the SEC filing, and not necessarily endorsing the letters included in the filing.

If you look at Edgar online or the SEC website and look at the filings you will see Matt's name and a description that signature is on file. In other words it was standard. Matt was not legally authorized to redact or exclude partner's opinions as laws regarding disclosure required divulging what key members were thinking in their letters and written opinions.

The entire 'Bailout Bevin' campaign was a smear attack on him and it was misleading. The attack was not successful as key supporters including Tea Party supporters continued rallying around Matt after realizing the attack was without substance. But McConnell managed to nationalize the hit job and those outside KY are still misinformed.

I did research on the above and called Bevin's campaign office to get the real story.

All polls showing Bevin far behind McConnell were taken in February when Bevin was just ramping up, and February is a long time ago in politics. Polls also showed the lead narrowing and importantly the polls showed Bevin almost even with the democrat opponent who was leading McConnell by a few points, even though Bevin was far behind McConnell at the same time. What this indicates is many KY voters are for any republican before a democrat and that Bevin's name recognition was low. A new poll should show substantial changes as recent polls on McConnell show his popularity in KY about on par with Obama's, in other words very poor favorability ratings for McConnell and increased name recognition for Bevin should show a surge for Bevin in the polls for any new survey.

Your youtube links to Scarborough and MSNBC. This is unacceptable sourcing on any level. MSNBC is a tool of the ruling class and that includes McConnell. I wouldn't trust them with anything.

The second link to Daily Mail in UK is also a progressive leaning outfit but they sometimes reveal reality because their editors are not so much controlled and monitored by the state: Here's a good piece of reality they reveal:

McConnell will have an easier time in the Republican primary against an opponent who is now linked to the illegal practice. But in November he will need every vote he can muster against Kentucky Attorney General Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat with whom he's running neck-and-neck.

The scenario of a razor-thin margin in the general election could make even cockfighters' votes critical.

Craig Davis, president of the United Gamefowl Breeders Association, told the Lexington Herald-Leader in February that his group could swing as many as 60,000 voters toward McConnell – or tell them to stay home on Election Day.

Bevin was smart because those 60,000 votes from the game fowl bloc will be in his column and most Kentuckians don't give a damn about cock fight issues pushed out by progressive media.

If Bevin loses the primary, then McConnell loses in November and the democrats pick up a Senate seat. But the GOP will still likely take the Senate.

Bevin still carries massive grass roots support in KY and voters there can't stand McConnell. I think Bevin has a better than even chance of pushing McConnell aside and if he does succeed in doing that then all of McConnell's zombie supporters will get behind Bevin because he is a republican but Bevin's grass roots supporters will not rally to McConnell should Bevin lose. No matter what, McConnell loses and that is a 'good thing' /Martha Stewart.
