I love willie's idea about Gollum and Bilbo, it makes perfect sense, even through flu ridden eyes. As for sam, it's still puzzling, if I remember Smeagol killed Deagol for the ring without having touched it, so maybe Sam had more good in him than the average "person" or maybe his loyalty and love for a friend was more powerful, in a sense, than the ring it's self.
