The key issue here is not the topic at hand but whether or not it is verifiable. The main question here seems to be, "Do blogs count as sources?" In certain rare cases they ought to be, but in general they are no better than citing user pages on Wikipedia. If a blog can cite a source, then we can find that source and cite it ourselves, I assume.
If the article is not actually about a particular blog, you'd be on rather shaky ground depending upon it as a "primary source".
What about if the author has blogged about (some current event) that they witnessed or attended?
(Yes, I know we're talking about political opinions and such, but I hope you won't throw the baby out with the bathwater...)
