I'm from DC and used to work in politics. Everyone I know from that realm considers political appointees to be political positions, and call them such. The political positions are rough, because churn is pretty much guaranteed every 4-8 years.

They may be political positions, but are the office holders "politicians"? When they never ran in an election? That was the original question.
