Here are some other choice examples:
A couple of weeks ago, Mitt Romney was asked to name a single bill John McCain has produced in 26 years on energy independence. Romney drew a blank, adding, “I’m not a historian.”

I mean, for instance, take, you know — take, for instance, the issue of — I’m drawing a blank, and I hate it when I do that, particularly on television,” he said.
In June, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was asked to name a difference between McCain and Bush on domestic policy, and couldn’t think of anything.
In May, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), the second highest-ranking Republican in the House, was asked to name a difference between McCain and Bush on economic policy, and he couldn’t come up with one.
