Comment (by dolemite):

 Ok I think I fixed it and the problem is two fold.

 1) I had the Admin SSL Wordpress plugin enabled (current version).  I
 deleted the plugin directory from the server.

 Plugin page:

 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-ssl-secure-admin/


 -Then-

 2) I noticed I had the previous version of the wp-config.php with the
 single secret key enabled but not defined.

 I looked over the following blog:

 http://boren.nu/archives/2008/07/14/ssl-and-cookies-in-wordpress-26/

 Removed the single secret key entry from the old version of the wp-config
 and added the following entries:


 define('AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');
 define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'put your unique phrase here');

 -and-

 define(’FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
 define(’FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true);

 I uploaded the new version of the wp-config.php to the root of my blog
 (again in the sub directory of the root) and was able to login with no
 issues.
