I think, and that's all anyone can really offer is mad, wild speculation... I think that if he had been elected DS the responsibilities of that office would have weighed upon his heart when making any other decision. Without those responsibilities, he may feel "free" to do what he might not have done otherwise.
In other words, with NW, I don't think it's all "sour grapes." He's a complex guy, not some simple "either this or I'm outta here!" sort.
