Did some politicking, say (4)

I believe the answer is:

spun

(Other definitions for spun that I've seen before include "Twisted to give an intended interpretation" , "Twirled" , "treated by doctors?" , "Rotated cricket-ball" , "(Of cotton/wool) twisted into threads" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
