Democratic Party "unity" watch (contd)

Some Clinton supporters are less than thrilled at Obama's choice of Joe Biden as VP:

""It's a total diss to Sen. Clinton, in my opinion," said Diane Mantouvalos, co-founder of the Just Say No Deal Coalition. "It just speaks volumes about how Barack Obama doesn't stand for anything." Mantouvalos, of Miami, is part of an Internet movement of Clinton supporters who refuse to back Obama, regardless of pleas from Clinton herself. Mantouvalos is in Denver, where the Democratic National Convention is scheduled to start Monday, stoking anti-Obama sentiment. She said the selection of a Washington insider undermines Obama's call for change. "It was a desperate move," Mantouvalos said."
