Should Frodo have been the one to carry the ring?

Frod was definately the right choice. I think, that deep down, he would not have let it go to anyone else at the council anyway, he had already carried it for how long?

Sam wouldn't have felt right carrying the ring when it was, by all rights, his master's. He would have probably given it back to Frodo anyway.

Merry would have made quite a good ringbearer I think, but he was very young, and wherever Merry went Pippin would surely go. I'll just say that Pippin isn't the most stealthy of all Hobbits.

Pippin, a Took in charge of the ring? Hobbit he may be, but a little quick to act without thought to be a ringbearer.

Boromir, well, we all know what happened to him and Aragorn had another path, plus the whole being a man thing, which makes him suseptable and untrustworthy whether he likes it or not.

Legolas couldn't take it because the Dwarves would be outraged and probably start a revolt. And Gimli couldn't take it because he likes shiny things too much.
