...[I]n New Hampshire, the mayor of Manchester, Frank Guinta, who is a highly touted Republican candidate for Congress, is being questioned for his involvement in a bar brawl that reportedly left one man's leg severely broken. Frank Guinta is running to oust Rep. Carol Shea Porter, one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the country.

Frank Guinta was at the bar with his friends the Garrity brothers -- Mike Garrity, an alderman, and Pat Garrity, a firefighter and state representative -- when at least one of the Garritys was accused of beating up a man named Thomas English. The alleged victim's family tells the Manchester Express they were furious with Mayor Guinta and Mike Garrity for leaving English injured on the floor and departing the bar before an ambulance showed up.

Frank Guinta told the [Manchester] Express: "It happened so fast I didn't see it." He added that he "had no idea that [English] had injuries to the extent that he did. I'm not a doctor."

The New Hampshire Democratic Party, quite naturally, has weighed in questioning why Guinta didn't call the police from the Fish and Game Club and why he left the scene before paramedics arrived.

"Frank Guinta tried to make a name for himself by having liquor licenses pulled from downtown bars where violence occurred, but when it involved a fight at the Fish and Game Club, he refused to call the police," says Victoria Bonney, New Hampshire Democratic Party Communications Director. "He has clearly put himself and his career before the safety of the city he was elected to lead."
