Will Not Fillabuster Gonzales

After threatening to filibuster the Gonzales' nomination, implying they had enough support to do so -- Democrat Leader Harry Reid said "there will be an up-or-down vote". Now does this indicate they did not have enough votes, changed their mind, or simply can't agree on a course of action?
