88 SE won't start

hey my 88 SE doesn't wanna start. I get power from the battery but I can't crank it. If I try to turn it on I just can't hear anything.
I can push start it though. What could be the problem? I think it's the starter but I'm not sure.

thanks

Bad battery terminal(s).
Loose connection to the starter.
Bad Starter.

That's my $.02

I would look into the Ignition Switch first.

I have the exact same prob with mine. i put a new starter in and it worked for a week or so. then it started to sound like a had a weak battery were the starter was turning slow. then it just died again. i got it tore apart right now. i tried checking the solenoid wire and im not getting 12v to it. how can i bypass the neutral switch?
