If any of you have taken any attention to The Council of Elrond in the Fellowship (book version), Elrond and I believe Gnadalf, say that it was fate that Frodo was menat to carry the Ring, and that everything happens for a reason. No-one else would have been able to carry the ring.
Samwise reluctantly gave the One up after such a short time when he gave it back to Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol.
Any other hobbits would not have taken the situation seriously enough, naming no names. *cough*Merry and Pippin*cough*
Aragorn would have lost his will to the Ring, just like Isildur.
Legolas was not a good idea, can't think of a good reason why yet.
Boromir would have done the same as Aragorn.
Gandalf was offered the Ring, but if he had it, instead of a Dark Lord, the world would be subjected to extreme goodness everywhere.
Eagles would be to obvious, as would Elrond and any other Elf.
