GOP assemblyman hints that U.S. Senate may be his next goal - Republican Assemblyman Joe Pennacchio hinted on Friday that he might be considering a 2008 run for the U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Sen. Frank Lautenberg. 

Pennacchio, a former Morris County freeholder and a member of the Assembly since 2001, is running this year for the 26th District state Senate seat held by Sen.
