It is my belief that if Sam would have had to take the Ring he would have succeeded because his love for Frodo was more powerful than the will of the Ring.

Also Sam is a pretty simple 'what you see is what you get' kinda guy and has no major desire to be king or lord of any place as Gimli or Boromir might do.

He also looked into Galadrial's Mirror and saw what would happen to the Shire if the Quest was to fail and I think that this along with his love and devotion for Frodo would have seen him to Mount Doom
