			Another thing to consider would perhaps be who saw it at the Council - Merry, Pippin and Sam did not, and neither Merry nor Pippin saw the Ring at all.  (Save for the one time Merry saw Bilbo use it to escape the S-B's)  Frodo, in the face of all gathered, actually said that it should go to Aragorn. Quote: 
 Why should he expect that? Did he learn something of the nature of Strider while travelling with him?

 Aragorn probably would have been able to resist the ring for quite a while, since it was offered freely to him on a few occasions and resisted it knowing of its power and dangers.

			i also think pippin would of been next because of his curiousity e.g. the palantir, Aragorn would of been next after pippin because men are easily corrupted by the rings power and he has isildurs blood in him and the blood of numenor.
