During the primary she was against 2 others [[IIRC it was Mary Waters and Brenda Scott)... and guess what... she got a higher number of votes than either the other 2 [[although the other 2 running got a higher combined count). It wasn't until 2 years after that when only 1 major candidate was running, that she finally lost for re-election. So let's not be so presumptive to automatically assume that Ficano cannot win again!
I read somewhere that four others were running.

Wayne County Commissioner Kevin McNamara
Westland Mayor William Wild
State Rep. Phil Cavanagh
Sigmunt Szczepkowski [[not sure who he is, or where he came from)

And now a 5th candidate...
Former Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans

sounds like a sure thing to split the vote
