Romney campaign offers sneak 'peak' of TV ad on Facebook

By Dylan Stableford | The Ticket – 6 hrs ago

A week after the Mitt Romney campaign launched an iPhone application that misspelled America as "Amercia"—a gaffe that quickly went viral—a post on Romney's Facebook wall teasing a new TV ad for the presumptive Republican nominee flubbed the spelling of "sneak peek" in the promotional copy.

The post on Romney's Facebook page appears to have been taken down, but a screen-grab of the ad was posted on Twitter late Sunday by Buzzfeed political reporter Andrew Kaczynski.

On May 29, the night he clinched the 2012 Republican nomination with a victory in the Texas primary, the campaign rolled out its official iPhone app, allowing supporters to take and share a photo that overlayed more than a dozen campaign slogans, including "A Better Amercia."

"Amercia" soon began trending on Twitter.
