If it was the alternator, I would have thought the car would die while driving it... But it runs just fine while driving.
Something happened last night that made me sure it was the starter. It tried to start, but couldn't turn over. The starter started smoking real bad and made a weird noise. Did the same thing this morning, but the car started.
I replaced the starter this afternoon, and it definitely seems to have fixed the problem. Fires right up with no problems, and no long, hard starts.
