Definite contract job vs possible perm

I'm looking for a couple of folks who have encountered this situation:

You are looking for a position and interview well with an employer for a full time position. Everything seems to go well, but the offer seems to be "in the works" at a snailspace. In the mean time, you get an offer for a contract position...

How did you handle this situation. What led to your decision?

I'm looking for one or two individuals to quote for an article. Your payoff will be that I'll tell a bit aboutyou and plug whatever your skills are in the article. (ie - Free publicity and possible networking opportunities with our readers.)

If interested, please email me directly.

Thanks,

Tim Heard
