Shadowing - "The Power of Democracy"

If people can know how to pronounce the word correctly and follow the intonation, I think next step will be what speaker wants to emphasize in the sentence. Even though my pronunciation is not reached on the high-level, I tried to catch the moment that Obama tries to give accent on his words. What is more, I had some difficulties in finding the "pause". So whenever I repeated the video, I checked when he makes a pause.

If there is anyone out there... 
...who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible,...
...who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time,... 
...who still questions the power of our democracy,... 
...tonight is your answer. 
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches,... 
...in numbers this nation has never seen,... 
...by people who waited three hours and four hours,... 
...many for the first time in their lives,... 
...because they believed that this time must be different,... 
...that their voices could be that difference. 
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor,... 
...Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian,... 
...native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled,... 
...Americans who sent a message to the world... 
...that we have never been just a collection of individuals... 
...or a collection of red states and blue states. 
We are and always will be, the United States of America.
