Did he really "want" it, or was it really a political necessity? I realize that is was not a legal one.

Well, let me put it this way: if he had had any doubts about it, he would have gone around the voters, and worried about the political consequences later.

20/20 hindsight says he would have been better off doing that. As it stands right now, he's finished politically...
