Who is Martha Coakley to St. Petersburg Times readers?

I was poised to post an item with the "Piquing PolitiFact" tag after suggesting a fact for PolitiFact to check.  So far they have taken none of my suggestions, so far as I am aware.  Here is the latest:

With some time elapsed since I posted, I began to wonder what "In the Know" readers of the Times know about Martha Coakley.

The Times search function produced three results for Coakley.

1.  The first, from 2002, was a brief mention of Coakley respecting her former role as district attorney.

2.  On Sept. 28, 2009, E. J. Dionne mentioned Coakley in an op-ed picked up by the Times:

The woman to beat is Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, who has the most statewide recognition.

Coakley has received an unexpectedly strong challenge from Republican Scott Brown.  Judging from his op-ed, Dionne didn't see it coming.

3.  The third mention comes hot off the virtual presses, dated Jan. 15, 2010.  A brief blurb about a President Obama digital campaign appearance on behalf of Coakley accompanies the story of the unions cutting a deal to delay implementation of the Cadillace insurance plan tax on (who else?) the unions.  Sounds like the unions learned a little something from Ben Nelson (D, Neb.).  The story in the Times omits the apparent terms of the deal.  The story does mention Scott Brown by name and affirms that Obama lent his support in light of the fact that the race in Massachusetts between Brown and Coakley is "competitive."  No word on why that might be.

In the know.
