I generally agree that the field of candidates for Conservative Party leadership is dismal to wretched ... but what on earth has Rona Ambrose done to deserve the constant media praise of her?

Ambrose underwhelmed in every portfolio she carried as a cabinet minister for The Harper Government.  She never seemed to understand the Environment portfolio (bureaucrats had to help her out at intentional conferences) and she abused the Health portfolio trying to bully doctors into coming out against marijuana because Trudeau was for it.

In the House Ambrose lets her Conservative rabble boo, bray and wop their desks and her questions are infantile at best and almost always hypocritical (chastising Trudeau for closing govt offices when she as Minister of almost anything closed offices with a smirk).  Just don't see the admiration everyone at the Globe has for her.  Or for Jason Kenney whom they also championed.
