Some 'official venues' for RNC not fully booked

[davidnc76]

Just two weeks before the Republican National Convention opens, some of the "official venues" say they're surprised and disappointed that they're not completely booked by now.

More than 40 venues signed contracts that required them to hold space open from August 30 to September 4. The contracts don't require the host committee to get the space booked — only that it would be marketed.
