If anyone is still having this issue, here is how I solved it:

1) go to the WordPress Settings –> General and change your timezone to where you are (I chose city, but do not think it matters whether you choose city or UTC format)
2) go to the WordPress Pages and select the page you want to publish. In my case, it was still “scheduled” for a time that had already passed.
3) Edit the “scheduled” time to a minute or two from the current time
4) The page should then publish as expected, but for some reason I then had to go to WordPress Settings –> Reading and set the front page as my desired page once again. (It defaulted back to “Your Latest Posts” for some reason.)
5) just for the heck of it, clear your browser’s cache.

This at least changed the status of my page to “published” once again.

EDIT: even after doing all this, using Safari 6.0 for Mac OS X Mountain Lion, I still wasn’t able to visit my site to see how it looks right away. It took about 10 minutes before I could refresh and actually see the site. However for testing purposes try opening a different browser and after following the above steps, the site should come up right away.
