Limbo, in this context is the state between heaven and hell where
unbaptized children end up, reputedly for eternity. According to the
Papal (papist?) doctrine, anyway. As to where Clinton will end up,
largely depends on which side of the political and moral spectrum one
happens to be.
I think that the Hillary campaign struck the right balance between
capitalizing on Bill and allowing him to become a handicap. He manages
to be both visible and invisible, im****tant and insignificant at the
same time. Pretty nifty trick to be able to achieve that.
