Will it spin the engine at all? How about with all of the AC controls set to the OFF position? The AC compressor could be locked up making it very hard for the starter to spin the engine over.

Battery voltage is good?
Check all of your battery and cable connections.
Ensure its solidly in PARK.

Remove the positive and negative cables from the battery, and use a wire brush to scrub away any dirt/gunt/corrosion very briskly from the inner edges of the battery cables, and also scrub off the battery contacts and reconnect everything making sure it is nice and tight.

A bit of vaseline on the cleaned up terminals helps keep them from corroding as fast.
