I don't believe he was paid off or muscled out. I think he was 100% honest with his reasons on why he didn't run. His son's illness and death hit him hard.
He certainly has some skeletons in his closet but they are pretty damn minor in the grand scheme of things. The major plagiarism controversy came about as in previous versions he had credited the original speech but the one that got recorded and distributed to reporters failed to have the proper credits put in. I have no doubt that with the full DNC machine behind him these things wouldn't hurt him in this election.
