When I was in a similar situation for a contract job, it turned out that there was considerable in-house discussion about whether or not to hire someone at all. Even though they had (at one point) gotten approval to hire, cutbacks were causing upper management to rethink their decision. The hiring manager elongated the interview process in hopes that I would convince upper management that they really needed me after all.
I did eventually get the contract offer and it turned out to be a good experience. Hang in there Kin.
