Interesting stuff, but spotted to mistakes and an oversight:
1) Geraldine Smith has been MP since 1997 in Morecambe
2) Rochdale isn't a Lid-Dem target from Labour; they hold it and have since 2005.
Finally, Mark Pawsey, the Tory candidate in Rugby is fighting the seat his father held until defeated by Andy King (his opponent this time) in 1997.

Rochdale is notionally Labour on the new boundaries. So the LDs have to "regain" it even though they won it in 2005.
