Has any Presidential candidate won 11 straight primaries and LOST the nomination?

It's now eleven consecutive primary victories for Obama, including the overseas primary:

I don't count Clinton out by a long shot, if anyone can come back from being down so long, bet on Clinton. My point is that I think it would be the greatest political comeback in American history if she pulled it off.

So for you history buffs out there, has it ever happened before? Has any candidate running for President ever won 11 consecutive primaries but ultimately was NOT nominated by their party for President?
