This isn't a job for HSRP. HSRP provides redundancy from end-station clients to their default gateway. The clients' default gateway(s) must be in the same subnet as the clients. It doesn't sound like that would be the case for any of the non-local routers.
It sounds like a job for a routing protocol. IGRP claims to figure out a candidate default route. Would it dynamically select a new route when the Internet interface went down? Or how about using OSPF and its ability to interject Type 4 routes to Autonomous System Boundary Routers? You could probably do this without a routing protocol too with a backup command of some sort of a floating static (default) route. OK, so I'm waving my hands here. ;-) But I can say for sure that you're barking up the wrong tree with HSRP.
