Sen. Hillary Clinton Wednesday said her campaign had "turned a corner" with dramatic wins in Ohio and Texas Tuesday night.
The New York Democrat broke a 12-contest winning streak by her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama.
Clinton also won Rhode Island, while Obama won Vermont. Cinton's victories mean the Democratic race will continue at least through the Pennsylvania primary on April 22.
Clinton attributed her wins to the belief of voters that she would be the best candidate to protect the nation.
"For me, this election has always been about who can be the best president, and, you know, that includes who can be the best commander in chief," she told CNN Wednesday.
Voters also choose her because she would be the best candidate to challenge Sen. John McCain, who locked up the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, on national security issues in the fall, she said.
"People who voted a month ago didn't know who the Republican nominee was going to be. They didn't perhaps factor in that it will be about national security because, indeed, with Senator McCain, that's what it will be about," she said.
