It's politics.

I'm sure you've hear of the concept of ghost-writers.  This is a similar
phenomenon: some people become advisors because they're good at what they
do, and tend to remain in shadow, and other people become advisors because
they're celebrities, no matter if they are *any* good -- and they tend to
catch the limelight.  Buchanan had made a name to himself in the "core
constituency" of the Republican Party, so his fame was at least as
significant a criterion in nominating him as an advisor as his actual
qualifications.  (Which are not in foreign affairs but inter-party politics;
Buchanan's specialty was telling the unwavering base of the evils of That
Other Party(tm).)

Where are you located?  In interests of minimising postage expenses,
somebody closer to you wanting it should probably have precedence.
