Will Rubio's "let's dispel with this fiction" gaffe become his "Oops" moment?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

What helps Rubio, if anything, is that unlike Perry's 'oops', Rubio's stuff-up needs to be explained and given context.

It can be chopped down to a brutal 2-minute youtube clip without losing any impact.

What makes this a gaffe?

Agreed, in this electorate it seems like reversing Hanlon's Razor gets further than obeying it...this seems especially true with the Republican base.

No, I'm actually in the dark about this. I watched the debate, heard the "Obama bad on purpose" vs. "Obama bad by accident" argument, thought nothing about it at the time or since, and then came here like an hour ago, and there are all sorts of comments about how Rubio said this thing which is going to ruin his campaign. What is the argument that this is a gaffe? That he gave Obama credit for not being clueless, even if it was still a form of criticism?

The gaffe is that he repeated the exact same canned response, more than once, while Christie was criticizing him for being a Washington do-nothing who can't do anything but repeat canned responses.
