Washington, D.C. -

Senate republicans have blocked a democratic bill that would have made it easier to find out what pay range their co-workers are receiving and to help reduce the pay difference between women and men in the workplace.

The vote fell short of the 60 needed to allow the legislation to move forward in the senate for full debate and a final vote.

President Obama has said he strongly supports this bill and Mitt Romney's campaign has only said he supports pay equality, but Romney himself has not come out either way on the subject.

As republican candidate Mitt Romney secures his party's nomination last night with a win in Texas, his campaign released a new iPhone app, "I'm With Mitt", and the theme was "A Better Amercia", ...with America being spelled wrong.

A campaign spokesperson said mistake happen, but it was too late, the spelling error had gone viral across the internet with tweets and blogs seizing on the mistake, along with democrats hoping to poke fun at the mistake.
