Masters Programs for someone switching from Poli Sci to Phil?

[Doorkeeper]

I graduated an top UG with a focus in political theory (and biology). Along the way, I picked up a great deal of moral and political philosophy, as my UG department is very analytically focused for political theory. I also took a few Phil classes focusing in moral philosophy, free will, and applied ethics. Moving forward, I'm noticing that many of the faculty I want to work with in graduate school are in philosophy departments, which has led me to think about getting a Masters in Philosophy and going for the Philosophy PhD instead of the Political Science PhD, or applying to both selectively to target the specific faculty members. I applied to both Phil and Political Science PhDs this year without much luck; I still have a few Phil programs to hear from but I'm not optimistic.

So basically I'm left wondering:

(1) Should I go for the Philosophy MA this year to bolster my Phil background?

(2) If so, where should I look at? Considering my strong background in political/moral philosophy, I realize that I would need to focus my time taking other areas of philosophy (logic, metaphysics, epistemology, etc) in order to look like a well rounded applicant.

(3) Are there any good MA programs that still allow for applications for Fall 2012? I notice that NYU, Stanford, Columbia, and Brandeis all still accept applications for the MA. Are there any others I should look at?

As if this isn't confounding enough, I've been accepted to a number of law schools with strong Philosophy departments (Columbia, Chicago, NYU, among them), and I'm considering doing a JD/MA and then applying for the PhD once I'm done with the MA. Would this be looked upon in the same light?

(4) Instead of doing a formal MA, should I just take a few logic and E&M classes during law school, as they allow for me to take classes outside of the department, and then apply in a year or two?

In terms of career planning, I'm hoping to get a JD/PhD (in Phil or Poli Sci) and go for academic positions at law schools.

I'm sorry this is so scattered, but I have a lot on my plate right now and I have only a few months to figure it out! Thank you in advance for any guidance!
