Does Mitt Romney or Barack Obama favor a small government?
Generally, it is part of Republican discourse to say they favor a small government, and to accuse Democrats of expanding the role of government.

And it is also interesting to note that Mr. Obama has actually cut the size of the federal government, contrary to internet myths.

What were the President Obama and Mitt Romney mascots?
I am not sure either candidate had a mascot. Perhaps you are thinking of the animals that represent the political parties: cartoonist Thomas Nast was the first to use the elephant to represent the Republicans, way back in 1874, and they have used it ever since; so if you saw any "mascots" that were elephants, they represented Mitt Romney's party, the Republicans. The Democrats have used the donkey as their symbol for almost as long, so if you saw any images of the donkey, it may have related to the Democratic candidate, Mr. Obama, and his party.
Some may suspect this, but it is untrue. Mitt Romney is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and does believe that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet, but Mormons (including Mr. Romney) do NOT believe that the prophet is the only one who speaks to God. It is a fundamental, basic belief of all Mormons that each individual has the right to speak with God directly. Mormons are expected to develop a personal relationship with God and to speak with Him directly every day. Mormons believe that they should not do anything without receiving individual confirmation from God that it is the correct path for them. Mormons are even encouraged to pray about the instruction of the prophet before obeying it. The Church does not want 'blind followers', but wants members to have a personal relationship with God and to follow His commandments because they know for themselves that it is what they should do, not because it is what someone else says they should do.
