Hillary Clinton's Quiet Visit To KC Raises Eyebrows
Clinton Also Had Unannounced Fundraiser Monday In St. Louis

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- An unannounced fundraising luncheon in Kansas City for Sen. Hillary Clinton has drawn the criticism not only of Republicans, but of some Democrats in a state where one of the nation's premier U.S. Senate races is heating up.

She also had a fundraiser in St. Louis on Monday that was unannounced.

Clinton, a Democrat from New York and potential presidential candidate, spent 90 minutes Monday at the home of Kansas City lawyer Herb Kohn, an adviser to Mayor Kay Barnes. Clinton walked away with about $40,000 for her Senate re-election campaign, but Democratic critics wonder at what cost to others running for office.

"The timing is bad," said Democratic activist Woody Overton. "We have a U.S. Senate race going on in Missouri. Claire (McCaskill) needs every dime she can raise right now."
