I was thinking about what I wrote earlier, about King needing to do a story -- wouldn't it be interesting to see a novella called "Senator Flagg?" He rises to power on the back of something like the Tea Party, gets endorsements from Palin and O'Reilly, and proceeds to create all kinds of havoc through legislation...each one of his acts causes mayhem. He would be the grand architect of a stand-your-ground-type thing that leads to a lot of deaths, etc. Would see all kinds of supernatural stuff going on behind the scenes (colleagues dying in strange, horrible ways, etc.). Could end with Flagg running for president, and the election is too close to call...
