Optima's don't last forever. Also check the starter switch and cable. The problem could be somewhere in the charging system and you may be trying to run on a weak battery that is not being charged.

Does the ammeter show positive when you are driving? If you turn the headlights on does it stay on the positive/charging side? If not, generator and/or regulator are malfunctioning and the ignition will eventually drain the battery voltage down to where the engine dies and it will not crank.
