Mike Gravel likes Sarah Palin's lack of experience
Found this link on the freeper site:

http://www.counterpunch.org/gravel09032008.html

Excerpt:
"In my mind, that Sarah comes to the national scene as a novice with a clean slate is her main asset. Having a long history of political experience also means a long history of exposure to the political corruption endemic to the process of human governance, with the phony public and private compromises that accompany political experience. "

He does go on to say he disagrees with her views, but will 'learn' as she goes along.

9. He made Dadaist political ads
Seriously. They showed him standing there, staring into the camera for one-and-a-half minutes before tossing a rock into a lake and leaving.

Nothing's a surprise from him.
