The Wall Street Journal Online is expanding its political blog Washington Wire online as mid-term elections approach. Staff writer Amy Schatz will become Washwire.com's lead campaign reporter,
providing daily updates on campaign activity. The section will also add "Campaign Journal," a new online column that will run through Election Day with insights from chief political reporter Jackie
Calmes. The expanded online coverage will be overseen by Mary Lu Carnevale, assistant Washington bureau chief.
