Reading the books, it does seem like that.
I think that the hobbits were young and naive enough to be ignorant of the usefulness of the power. They really had no use for it. Can you imagine Pippin or Merry with the Ring? Sam doesn't seem to ponder the thought long either, even after being exposed to it just a long as anyone else.
As for the others, Gandalf feels the fear of temptation at Bag End. Though his position as a Maiar might have helped, 'I have a mission from the Valar!'
Gimli and Legolas never disclose thier feelings, but I think there might have been some temptation.
Aragorn would seem as capable of rejection as Faramir, in the short-term, but in the end it wins over everyone.
Boromir had the most to win, and lose. He was the first to break, but not the only one, I think, that would have.
Call me Rem. Rembrethil is a lot to type!!
