Coke Everywhere Key will turn but car wont start.

Last night while my car was idling I spilled half a can of coke between the seats of my 89 auto sedan. Naturally all the spilled coke was funneled into the keyhole. I did not notice at first but as I put the car in drive the radio shut off. About 20 feet later the car stalled. I have been unable to get it started since. The key is able to move freely in the ignition and when I make the first turn it will turn on all the usual electronics (lights, dash lights, annoying seatbelt noise) except the radio. When I move the key to the start position it only makes a feeble, slowed attempt to start the car. Lasting about a second and followed by a few clicking noises. I do not suspect the battery is at fault because it was fine when the incident occurred and the lights do not dim when I attempt to start it. But I am charging it right now anyway. I have also checked all the fuses and they are not blown. What do you think it is? I have tried hair drying and vacuming out the keyhole without results.
