This forum has been here for decades, I'm wondering how early discourse in the 2000's about Joe Biden becoming president was ? What was his general reputation back then on the forum ?

He appears in a lot of tea leaves/hypothetical lists of potential candidates for 2008 well before the election. This is the earliest thread I found specifically discussing him for president: https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=26290

Biden was such a long shot in 2008 (given the dominance of Hillary and Obama), that I would almost wager that the first 'serious' talk of a President Biden would be in one of the timelines in the "What If" board.

Someone must have written a hypothetical where Obama is impeached/passes on at some time during his two terms in office.

I'd be shocked if there wasn't a post from 2003 about this. Biden teased possibly running in 2004 for much of that year.

I don't think he's ever been president on this forum.

That part about the South Carolina primary is quite prophetic:

People who said that Biden is too old or "past his prime" in 2005:

jfern hated Joe Biden back in 2005:
