Yeah, order of time at BigLaw vs politics career might matter too. FOrmer mayor of Dallas returned to BigTex (not BigLaw) after his stint as mayor. That sort of position can make a person into quite the rainmaker. And then there is Guilliani, who is now a name partner at another BigTex.
One of the mayoral candidates in the last LA election is at BigLaw in LA. He didn't win though...

Becoming a BIGLAW partner requires you to spend your time doing things that do not set yourself up for a career in politics. I agree that there are more senior types with political potential, but didn't they get there on the strength of accomplishments elsewhere (e.g., Giuliani)?
