Resisting The Ring

Ok are the hobbits the best candidates for carrying the burdon of the ring because of their simplicity and lack of strength and power? They seem more resistant to its corrupting effects then any others. I mean Gandolf cant even touch it for fear of what he would end up doing with it. And Galadriel well you know how she reacts to it. Which makes it clear that the more powerful you are the more likely you are to be corrupted and the more devistating you would become. Now the elves have been able to hide their rings so obviously theres some resistance there. And the dwarves well they never really talk much about the effect of the rings on the dwarves. Would have been interesting if there were seven (7?) little dwarf nazgul running around. And the men well the men are hopeless. So it seems the hobbits are the natural candidates to resist the ring then. But then again Gollum was a hobbit like creature and looked what happened to him. So I guess my question is is it the hobbits or is it the Baggins specifically?
