um i think sam. a couple things i like about him.

he likes elves. elves are definitely the coolest thing ever.

he saved the world more than anyone else. without sam to carry him, frodo never would have made it near mount doom. you can fight all you want but you will never overcome sauron by strength of arms. the ring was his only un-doing.

he is hilarious. i love his rustic sense of humor. comic relief? the man has all you want (in the books taht is).

he isn't controled by the ring.

he becomes thain.

yeah, sam is definitely the best hobbit ever.

Congatulations to Samwise Gamgee and to all who have voted for him. As of right now he is in the lead and deservedly marked as the top Hobbit

Take that Bilbo and TGWBS, the people have spoken again!

I demand a recount!

Surely if Lobelia had been included, Samwise would have lost many of his votes. Thus the blame lies on Fordim, not any deficiency of Bilbo's.

Actually, no. That would be Pippin. And if Thainship is the basis on which you base "favouritism", I advise you to move over the Pippin camp.

Sam's title is Mayor of Michel Delving (and therefore, of the rest of the Shire). T'is a role of no less prestige than Thain, really, but a good deal less power. His only real duty is to preside at banquets.

And, I ask you, is someone thought fit only for banquet hosting and toasting worth the pre-eminent place in your hobbit-loving hearts?

so true, so true.

thanks for the correction Formendacil (although i believe he was thain to fill in. or was that frodo? i am long due for my anual reading of lotr

).

why yes i do, at that. i still think that sam saved middle-earth more than anyone. (ok more than any hobbit!) sam is still the man (or hobbit rather) in my opinion!
