Even if the Ring was kept for Sauron, it was presumed that Sauron would overrun Middle Earth unless the ring was either destroied or used against him. (see the discussion on giving the ring to Bombadill while in Rivendell).While I have no doubt that Glorfindel was a great asset to Rivendel, he wasn't "too good to send". Gandalf was certainly more useful. What do you think Gandalf must have looked like. After Kaza Dum, he actually shone like a bacon in the mundane world.This is why the party was smal, and why Gandalf avoided usinghi power... to avoid attracting attention.</blockquote>
