You should probably research the people in those firms. There is nothing wrong with a custom resume tailored to an individual position or practice area.

Are they mainstream? And is it liberal or conservative?

I kept an obama internship on my resume and ended up fine, albiet at a liberal leaning firm.

Gross. (just kidding, of course)

That is probably fine, I would think. What markets are you targeting?

No but you can research if the partners in whatever firm that is are political donors or have political ties. If they are, you can easily find out where that money goes.
