How progressive is Martha Coakley?

With Markey dropping out, it looks like she's the clear favorite. Her star has been rising steadily, and she seems pretty substantial. I was a little put off by her rather bloodless prosecution of Louise Woodward (the nanny "baby shaker"). She may have been on the right side then, but she didn't exactly project warm and fuzzy.
So how do Mass DUers feel about her?

1. I dislike her for the way she went after Louise Woodward, and I also

saw a DUer saying that she came down hard against decriminalization of marijuana. Former prosecutors are often too strongly law and order types. I am not happy with her.
