In an article in the Wall Street Journal, Arnold Schwazenegger lamented the failure of his policital career.  When asked why he thought he would endure in the policitcal arena, he cited his success in the film industry -- he thought it would carry over.  People who are successful at one venture often believe they can be successful at all ventures -- think Michael Jordan's baseball career or Law & Order actor Ice T's rap career.  Point is, Arnold, don't worry.  Plenty of people who were successful at one thing failed at others.  Below is a list.
