I love my family, but if they told me they wanted me to commit 4+ years of my life running for office (because he never really stopped after the 2008 election) and if I won I would then have to do the hardest job in the world for the next 4 years I sure as hell would not try to do that.

I think he really wanted to win and I think this is his son's way of trying to blow it off.
I assume its not like he did not want it completely, something like "Don't we have someone else from our party to run for the office?" Then "well, I guess I could run if you put a trust in me".
I mean maybe he was not very enthusiastic, but he was not completely against it either. Somewhere in the middle. Not wanted it really much, just wanted it enough to run.
