Car wouldn't start?

I have the same damn hesitation problem that about 99% of us LT1 drivers seem to have. Its something i can tolerate for now, but tonight i get in my car and turn the key and nothing, battery was fine, but it wouldn't even turn over. My lights and everything were working fine, radio too. So, i thought maybe soemthing could be wrong with one of the battery connections so i popped the hood and just kinda moved the wires, get back in and nothing, but it slightly turned, I tried it again and it turned over fine and started right up. Any ideas? Thanks

A dying battery has enough power to operate things such as lights and radios but not enough to power the starter. Usually when this is a problem you will hear a very fast clicking sound when teh battery doesn't have enough juice to power the starter.

It was almost like it was shorting out? it wasn't making any noise at all, but everything was working strong. After trying about 4-5 times it did turn over fine and strarted right up.
