Cain, who also made a run for a U.S. Senate seat, talks on WSB radio in Atlanta. He's a mathematician, a minister, a former radio talk show host and pizza magnate.

"The sleeping giant called 'we the people' has awakened," Cain thunders, pacing the stage in his trademark dark suit, brown fedora and "lucky" gold tie, delivering a rollicking, 45-minute performance that evokes an old-fashioned church revival, complete with cries of "Amen" from his audience.
