It is a citation in the literal sense of the term. How strong a source that is depends on what you think of that source. Equating all blogs as sources makes as much as sense as equating all TV shows or all newspapers. We all know how to distinguish between, e.g., the Wall St. Journal and the National Enquirer. Which is not to say that the WSJ is right all the time either.
That particular blogger is, IMHO, a pretty solid source. Others I read, not so much. YMMV.

Matt Yglesias is a douche - opinion wise - but as a blogger he seems very legit with his facts and references*. I, too, would have preferred a cite to back that up, but I honestly doubt Yglesias would toss that one off without some legit support.
Speaking of douche - how about those Red Sox!!!!!!
*I, unlike Ty, can cross political divides and offer support for those with a divergent opinion.
