In terms of popular vote he would have to win an absolute majority in a two-way race or lead a field of several candidates, Percy said in a taped television interview to be shown in Illinois.

Percy said this would mean passing up the nation's first presidential primary, in New Hampshire, although supporters there have told him "my potential candidacy would do very well there."
