The Herminator put on a show Thursday at the University of Florida.

Former Republican presidential contender Herman Cain gave a rousing speech before a crowd of more than 300 at UF as part of his “College Truth Tour.” A rock band opened the event and Cain closed his speech by singing “Believe in Yourself” from the movie “The Wiz.”

...Cain told members of the media after the speech that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's recent “47 percent” comment was a “non-story” being blown out of proportion by the media. But Cain said he would have been doing better if he was the nominee, saying that he'd probably have a “substantial lead” on President Barack Obama at this point.

“The reason is quite simple: I have some depth to my ideas,” he said.
