Elrond suggested it, but Gandalf vetoed it as Mr. Bombadil wouldn't likely leave his forest, especially not to go to Mordor. And while he might hold onto the ring for safe keeping, Gandalf worried that he would not understand the need and would toss it aside somewhere and forget about it. Making him a unsuitable keeper of the Ring, despite it having no effect on him.
