Wait, what?
Up next on #CNNsotu…#Obama sings a new policy tune, @SenTedCruz shoots stuff and @ChrisChristie hangs with @SHAQ. Yes, really.

Yes, this happened:

Heh.
Giggles swiftly ensued, too.
The Shaq endorsement is like when Bobby Bowden or Bill Belichick goes for that 8th touchdown when up by 35. #runningupthescore

Political historians will likely look back at @shaq 's endorsement of @GovChristie as the primary reason he was reelected in 2013.

I never make a political decision until I find out what Shaq thinks.
