What about THIS compromise... (POLL)

Okay, so how about this as a compromise, to help prevent a torturous battle until the end of the summer...
Both candidates agree to a revote in Michigan and Florida, but with the following stipulation -- whoever ends up with the most pledged delegates is the nominee.
Period.
Whoever leads in pledged delegates as of early June (when the PR primary is held), the other one drops out. No waiting to the convention.
Of course, you'd also need to get the superdelegates to agree to this -- or at least a big enough chunk of them to make the difference (i.e., to agree to immediately promise to back the early June leader)
Now, it puts Senator Clinton at a disadvantage, since she's well behind in pledged delegates, but... well, that doesn't seem unreasonable, since he's got that lead by winning. And frankly, while Obama would very likely win in this scenario. But he'd also very likely win if things played out from now to the convention. And hey, at least this gives her a chance.
This would end it earlier, it would solve the MI/FL problem, and allow us all to move on to more important topics, like whether Britney is pregnant again.
Thoughts?
