Okay, I have to say that I don't think Sam could have done it, like child of the 7th age said, anyone would be corrupted. The ring would have worked all the harder to return to it's master once it was in Mordor. And I wonder if Sam could have really left Frodo for so long. Sam is protective of Frodo, and that is where he gets all of his strenght once the fellowship is broken. True the ring did not affect Tom, but as Gandalf, or somebody, said in the counsil of Elrond, Tom would't have come to the counsil if they had asked him, so I doubt he would have gone to Mordor to destroy the ring.

As to what would have happened if Sam had kept the ring, quite frankly, I think Sauron would have had the ring by dawn, and Middle Earth would have been lost. I'm not saying Sam is weak, but Frodo, was a better ring bearer,in the fact that he understood the huge importance and the responsibility so much better than Sam. Sam still believed in a way, that the ring was just a piece of metal, and the "powers" were all just exagurated.
