This may all be a lot of wishful thinking; but if Hillary actually took the nomination—especially through sleazy means—I bet there would be a lot of angry Obama supporters that would follow him on an independent ticket.

I agree. But I do not think that Obama will run on a third party ticket. It is political suicide for him. Third party candidates do not win. If Hillary somehow wins the nomination this year, Obama will make a few speeches for her. If she loses, Obama will be in a great position to run in 4 years. If she wins...well Obama has to wait 8 years...but he will still be young.
