No, not RL politics (thankfully)...

I recently read through New Seattle SB and there's s section on the political machine. One of my current characters has KN: Politics as a hobby/side profession. My question is has anyone successfully (or not so) done a Shadowrun plot that involved politics? Perhaps one of the candidates hires the runners to plant evidence against his opponent? Or get rid of evidence of his own wrong-doings? Or hires the runners to conduct interdiction operations (several break-ins in a row) against polling/voting areas favorable to the opponent? Perhaps in the end, get a contact with one of the city councilmen?
