Keyword question - To pursue or not?

I am new to SEO and adsense, fiddling around with the adwords tool and I recently stumbled upon a long tail keyword with just over 1.00$ CPC getting around 120k unique exact search hits a month. Normally I would curse myself for not being able to hit page one with volume like this but this particular terms first page is dominated by squidoo and small article buzz sites, there is no authority site to be found and even the lower ranking links are hitting 100k a month. My question is... is this possible? Would I be able to break into top 10 or is it possible I have made a mistake somewhere because no words exist with volume like this not tapped into by one of you warriors already, lol.

Also, if I can't make an authority site for it, do any warriors pay for good search terms or just find their own?

Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate it very much. Best 10$ I have ever spent to join a helpful forum like this.

    Are you so sure that you only had 'Exact' search checked and it isn't returning broad matches too? Also, I'm not sure I understand you when you say "lower ranking links are hitting 100k a month"...

    Theres plenty of untapped high volume words buddy. For every new product/market opens a whole new bunch of keywords. Just think how many products are launched each day worldwide. So theres plenty of cake to share for everyone.
    Just a quick question though. When you say its "Low Comp". What are you using to check if its Low Comp?

    If someone has to get on a forum to ask If they can rank for a keyword, obviously they can't rank for the keyword. Not trying to be a prick, but we're not you, so we have no idea what you can do. If you don't know what you can do, nobody knows. An obvious choice would be to try & rank for the keyword, otherwise we can all sit around guessing what will happen.
