I'm sure this isn't the case 100% of the time, but I think a good official will eventually make it hard for politics to hold him/her back. There just seems to always be a way for a good official to work games. I've seen politics all over the country and eventually good officials achieve some level of success. It might not always be what is desired, but it is success.
