'Edith and Carolyn': unlikely callers of Iowa vote
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning the world learned the results of the US first White House nomination contest from an unlikely source: Edith and Carolyn, of Iowa's Clinton County.
As CNN's giddily exhausted news team tracked the results of the photo-finish between former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, the rural eastern county appeared to be the last holdout as the vote-counting stretched past 1:00 am (0700 GMT).
But when CNN reached Clinton County Republican chairwoman Edith Pfeffer at home, she insisted she had sent in the results hours earlier and recited the numbers to anchorman John King.
When he pointed out that the results did not match those given by state officials, she broke in, saying: "What do you mean the numbers don't match!"
