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).
It\'s not everyone who gets to hoist a president like a sack of potatoes. Pizza man Scott Van Duzer sent the president airborne with a giant bear hug when Obama stopped by his restaurant in Fort Pierce, Fla., this fall. Van Duzer, a Republican who says he\'s voting for Obama, was rewarded with a seat near Michelle Obama during the final presidential debate, and he introduced Obama during a campaign rally last week in Delray Beach, Fla.

   "Every time I need a pick-me-up, I try to see Scott," Obama declared.
