For the same reason that Gore didn't want Clinton anywhere near him in 2000 (Clinton was still disgraced at the time he left office) and didn't have him as part of the campaign at all.
And the same reason that Carter to this very day is not wanted in campaigning or at the Democrat Convention.
Bush is in the same boat at the moment. He is a negative. Why would Romney want a negative like that?
He doesn't. Just like Clinton WAS a negative in 2000 for Gore, and Carter would be a negative for Obama now.
