IT HASN’T BEEN the most memorable of presidential election campaigns. We’re missing many of the elements for a real classic but incumbent Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney have still provided us with some moments.

And VP picks Joe Biden and Paul Ryan have pitched in too. As have the much-loved First Lady Michelle Obama and Ann Romney. Plus, there are the kids, grandkids and Bill Clinton.

Here are some of the best images from the 2012 campaign.
