Do you mean that they arent corrupted by corporations or special interest groups, or the fact that they havent yet mastered how to lie through their teeth. We have too many scumbags in our government.
Compare a guy who is a brand new, first term member of the Senate, and then compare him to somebody who's been in the Sentate for multiple terms. That newb has a lot less political experience, at that big stage.
Sure, to get to that stage, you've usually got to have a fair amount of experience to begin with, but what experience you have to get to that position is probably a lot different from the experience you'll gain once you are at that position.
In my opinion, an inexperienced politician is somebody who is pretty new with the "big stuff" politics- sure, they probably have many of the same wonderful "features" as a multi-term politician on that same stage, but they probably won't be as good at some of the true, hardcore politics.
Biff hit on my thoughts in his post a few posts back, when he called out Michigan.
