Agreed. Dean Scream didn't actually kill Dean's candidacy. The oops moment almost certainly killed Perry's. This will kill Rubio's candidacy.

Well, it might have no DIRECTLY killed his campaign, the resulting negative media coverage helped to do that.

I really don't get this myth. Dean was already in a downward spiral when the "scream" happened. He was supposed to win Iowa and he came third. He was already trailing in the polls in NH. The idea that the scream killed his campaign is a complete a posteriori reconstruction.

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

Not really. Just show the cuts to the 4 times he said it with time captions to show it was 4 different times. Youtube videos already do that.
