Campaign 2012: 10 images to remember

Campaign 2012 is rich with images that conjure the seriousness and silliness that unfold side by side in any presidential race. Here are 10 to remember (or forget).

$Sad to say, Eastwood\'s rambling conversation with an empty chair representing Obama during the GOP convention may well be the single most memorable moment of the 2012 presidential campaign. And the only candidate in that tableau was invisible. Eastwood, 82, said he grabbed the chair on a lark. "There was a stool there, and some fella kept asking me if I wanted to sit down," Eastwood said later. "When I saw the stool sitting there, it gave me the idea. I\'ll just put the stool out there and I\'ll talk to Mr. Obama and ask him why he didn\'t keep all of the promises he made to everybody."$
