How about if we just keep clocks set to when the sun is at it's highest peak in the day and call it noon, as it's been done for centuries? In other words, keep standard time all year round, as that is natural and logical.
Some states should be shifted to make that a closer reality, as their time zone designation is incorrect based on the high noon principle.
This is similar to what I was envisioning, and I think it would take out some steam from the permanent-DST crowd. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida all go into the Central time zone, the slew of states from North Dakota all the way to Texas plus Idaho move into the Mountain time zone:

This aligns better with the actual time zone designations, as seen by the straight grey lines High noon is smack in the middle of each time zone.
