Read the thread James linked to and read John's comment above (#6).
Don't worry so much about any direct seo benefit with the comments you leave. Sure if you find dofollow blogs and you have something to say, then by all means leave a comment and you get a link.
The real benefit in commenting on blogs isn't about seo at least not directly. Blog comments send direct traffic when you leave interesting, entertaining, useful, engaging, intelligent, etc. comments. Real people do click on the links.
Commenting on blogs also allows you to network with the blogger and the other people commenting. Find a few blogs you enjoy reading and have something to add to the conversation and start commenting when you have something to say. One or two comments isn't going to do much, but if you consistently comment and become part of the community around the blog you'll gain a lot over time.
Like I said people will click on the link that gets added to your name. Don't write a keyword rich name. Use your real name, a common username, or your site name. As you get to know other people they will start linking to you without you having to ask them. In time there will be seo benefit.
