[LotR] Why are Hobbits so great at resisting the One Ring?

Gandalf seemed to think that all it would take would be for him to take the Ring, and he would go crazy (Word of God is that he would have become a totalitarian dictator forcing everyone to be Good.) Elves and men, likewise, can't be trusted to bear the Ring. But what's so special about Hobbits?

I always thought it was that Hobbits aren't ambitious. But a friend pointed out to me that *neither is Gandalf* - he's a being of vast power, yet he essentially lives like a homeless person. His only "ambition" is to help save Middle Earth.

And ... Frodo, after all, seems to care about saving Middle Earth just as much; he endures incredible danger and hardship to trek the Ring across half the world in order to destroy it. Yet he was supposedly the perfect Ring-bearer. Why?

It *could* be power, I guess - Gandalf is vastly more powerful than an unassuming Hobbit, he just tends not to mention it - but there are a couple of flaws in that, too. Why would the Ring's corruption be tied to how "powerful" the holder is? And why couldn't a human be just as effective, when they have no more "special powers" than a Hobbit does? Heck, they have *less*, if you count the whole hobbits-are-great-at-hiding thing.

Why a Hobbit, then?

Because in the end, men want to live forever, elves want everything to be as they used to be, dwarf want gold but the hobbits...

...they really just want a nice pint, a nice meal (or two) and to say "hello" to their neighbour.

The ring tempted Samwise to be the worlds most powerful Gardenr of all things. A Gardener! Of course Samwise just thought to himself, "Well, that's silly..." and went on.
