Not really. Remember, under the rules of the Senate, if the leader votes against the bill, he can bring it up again. It is not dead. Probably, Reid voted for it initially and then when the saw it was going to fail, he changed his vote to "No" so he would have the right to bring it up later.

Reid voted no because a Senator must be on the prevailing side if they want to bring it up again.
