In our case it was because one of our Azure subscriptions randomly when into (disabled) mode, requiring an escalated support ticket with Microsoft. I suspect that triggered the management certificate error reported by other folks on this question.

When you hit such problem where things were working at one time and after some time not, it is always good to update the environment so you know that if something changed is back to normal.
This problem is very much related with your development machine certificate configuration and due to certificate mismatch the SSL connection can be established. Actually I was able to reproduce this problem by removing the exact same certificate at the Management portal which I was using for deployment from Visual studio.
To solve this problem you can download the latest publishsettings from Windows Azure Management Portal as described below and use it with Visual Studio: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/avkashchauhan/archive/2012/05/10/downloading-windows-azure-publish-settings-subscription-configuration-file.aspx
Once you have proper certificate settings between your development machine and Windows Azure Management Portal, the SSL connection can be established and publish will work.

My guess is that the management certificate that is installed on your machine is no longer valid on your Azure Subscription
