I'll take that as a no.
No one would ever call their candidate a prostitute.
A burden only for partisans.
Partisans are saddled with candidates, usually chosen by others. They trudge to the polling place armed with a clothespin and a list, sleep restlessly on election night and avoid eye contact with the bathroom mirror the next morning.
Conversely, any ideologue, conservative or liberal, have choices, breath an air of freedom, rest comfortably after franchise and look forward to a new day with hope.
